    Buddy the Russians have tens of millions of bots on every site they’re not just trying to get me.

    both impossibly more technologically advanced

    The chatbots I’m seeing from you guys aren’t even all that realistic.

      Congratulations, you’ve successfully gaslit yourself into defining away everyone who disagrees with you as a “bot” and now find yourself haunted on all sides by your shadowy enemies.

      And for everyone else: what do you think the odds are some of this unfortunate poster’s brainworm infestation was seeded by literal CIA/State Department astroturfing bots? I give it about a 50/50 that that was an important infection vector, and a good 90% chance that they’ve nodded along while looking at CIA copypasta bot and uncritically believed whatever racist thing it was telling them to.

        Remember that time it was leaked that Mi5 was running a bot farm out of a disused mill?

        The British state had (has?) a literal propaganda mill.

        For months leading up to the general election, you’d see the same comments in their tens, sometimes hundreds, popping up to defend Boris Johnson. And the same same copy-paste comments attacking Jeremy Corbyn.
